In 2009, University of Texas Libraries began collaborating with Free Burma Rangers (FBR), a non-profit organization based in Southeast Asia, that provides humanitarian aid to internally displaced Burmese refugees and documents human rights violations that have occurred under the military dictatorship in Burma and Myanmar.

Note: Access to these materials is currently limited to Free Burma Rangers staff, due to the sensitive nature of the information.
